Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the Lensbaby Scout, particularly when paired with the Fisheye Optic or other Lensbaby optics:Step-by-Step Instructions for Using Lensbaby Scout1. Mount the Lensbaby ScoutAttach the Lens: As with other lenses, mount the Lensbaby Scout by aligning the camera body’s lens mount with the Scout and twisting it until it clicks into place. The Scout is available in multiple camera mounts (Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.), so ensure you have the right one for your camera.2. Insert the Desired OpticThe Scout is compatible with Lensbaby’s Optic Swap System, allowing you to swap different optics like the Fisheye, Sweet 35, etc.To insert an optic:Remove the front cap of the Scout.Place your desired Lensbaby optic (like the Fisheye) into the lens body and secure it by gently pushing until it clicks into place.3. Choose the Aperture Disk (if applicable)For optics that use aperture disks (like the Fisheye), you’ll need to select the aperture.Insert Aperture Disk:The Lensbaby Scout comes with magnetic aperture disks (typically ranging from f/4 to f/22) that you can easily swap out.Use the magnetic tool provided to remove the current aperture disk, then drop the desired disk into the optic’s front, and it will snap into place.4. Set the Camera to Manual ModeSince Lensbaby lenses are manual focus and do not communicate electronically with your camera, you’ll need to use Manual (M) mode or Aperture Priority (A/Av).Set the aperture and shutter speed on your camera to control the exposure. Depending on your optic and aperture choice, you may need to take test shots to ensure proper exposure.5. Manually Focus the LensThe Lensbaby Scout uses manual focus, so you will need to focus manually by turning the focus ring on the lens.Fisheye Optic: For example, with the Fisheye optic, use the manual focus ring to find the sharpest part of your image, often focusing on infinity or closer depending on your subject.If using another optic like the Sweet 35, you can still manually focus, but the sharp sweet spot will remain in the center of the frame.6. Compose Your ShotFisheye Optic: The Fisheye optic provides a dramatic, wide-angle view with extreme distortion, capturing 160 degrees of the scene. Compose your shot by filling the frame with your subject, keeping in mind that the edges will show characteristic fisheye distortion.Other Optics: If using another optic like the Sweet 35 or Edge 80, you will have straight, fixed-focus effects with a centered sweet spot (without the tilt effect found in other Lensbaby lenses). Focus on framing your subject in the center for maximum sharpness and clarity, with pleasing falloff and blur toward the edges.7. Adjust Exposure SettingsSet your ISO, shutter speed, and aperture depending on the lighting conditions and creative goals.Lower Aperture (e.g., f/4): More light will enter the lens, but the depth of field will be shallower, resulting in more blur in the non-focus areas.Higher Aperture (e.g., f/16): More of the image will be in focus, and the image will appear sharper throughout the frame.8. Take the ShotOnce everything is set up, capture the image. With the Fisheye optic, you’ll get dramatic curved distortion on the edges of the frame. With other optics like the Sweet 35, you’ll have a focused sweet spot in the center with the blur increasing toward the edges.
